Newspaper Page TextCRAWFORDVILLE DEMOCRAT Volume 8. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Correspondence Democrat) Washixgton.D.C., April 11,1884.— Daily the prospects of Democratic suc¬ cess in November grow brighter, the fight in the Kepublican party over men making it apparent, eveu from their own standpoint that they have not men or leaders in their party pos¬ sessed of sufficient intelligence, com¬ bined with personal and political mo rality and houesty out of whicli to make up a Presidential ticket. Repub¬ lican estimate of Republican leaders as expressed by their leading papeis and and their representative men here, is sufficient to relegate the whole crowd to oblivion, In fact if what is being said of each other is true, hades is hardly hot enough to burn out the blackness and darkness of their chaiae ters. It is this beautiful picturing of each other by Republicans that causes Democrats to take heart and once more nnite to rescue the country from the present corrupt party in power. Leading men in tiie Democratic ini.ks while ot course having personal prefer euces, are advising that no combina tions or attempts to influence the ac¬ tion of the convention to meet at Chi¬ i made until a er the. cago, July 8, be action of the Republican convention ot Jnue 3 shall have done its wmk. One mouth will be then left n which to figure as t > the wisest nomination to make an '■ t r »*n w ia>. s clem to select Candidates. puera is a general, we say a universal feeling among prominent and leading Democrats to ignore per¬ sonal and local preferences in order to • • unite upon a ticket to win, and with either Arthur, Blaine or Logan as the Republican nominee, there is more than an even chance for Democratic success. Truth—but before we begin it may be proper to remind the people that Truth is a newspaper published in New York city, the newspaper fhat printed the forged “Morey letter” that was de¬ signed to defeat the election of the late lamented President Garfield, and ruin his reputation. Well, Truth still exists, it mav also be necessary to re¬ mind your readers, and is an adminis¬ tration organ this year. Truth is on the rampage. d-L.<setlar.es L. its mauy paragraphed editorials, that Arthur has been betrdyed, sold out and sat upon by various fellows and classes. The office bolders.the non-office holders, the Irish, the negroes, the Catholics, the Bap¬ tists, the Methodists, tiie—well eveiy body—has turned traiter to Arthur. Even John O’Brien, and Jones of the Times has gone back on him and for this alleged treachery. Truth is for war to the knife and the knife to the hilt. These tilings are recited by your correspondent for the reason that they afford a good deal of amusement to Democrats in Washington who daily read the stuff doled out to the country by the correspondents of the radical journals relative to the entire harmony in the Republican camp and the strife existing in the Democratic ranks over the tariff and other bills. Two cats tied taU-to-tail and hung over a clothe line would not be more fierce and bitter in their scratchings and fightings than will be the two factions of Adminis¬ tration and Anti-Administration Re¬ publicans after their nominations at Chicago, unless a very great change takes place in the party benveen now and then. After the election in No¬ vember, Republicans will be looking around in amazement, coupled with bewilderment, wondering what struck ’am Mark our words. Colonel Morrison, of Illinois, says his horizontal tariff reduction bill will be called up uext Tuesday and eventually passed, and passed too, with less debate and sooner than peo*,-.“ generally be lieve. Congressman Payson, of the same State as Morrison, is of a contra¬ ry opinion, and says that lie does not believe that the bill will eveu be con¬ sidered by the House. “The Republi¬ cans will object to its esnsideration and I believe that Mr. Randall and the Democrats who think as he does will do the same thing. If there are fifty Demoera s opposed I do not think tha bill will be brought up. It looks as ^if Congress would have to sit until Aug¬ ust anyway if it takes up anv public business now waiting for it, except the amiropriation bills, and the tariff bill would simply lengthen the session use lessly.” General Butler is in Washington. He comes, it is said, to attend to some court basiness, but will probably scan ,b, political «e.d with hi, open e f e and Presideatial nomination hythe Demo cratic National convention.

When asked by a Senator what remedy he had to suggest in view of the situa tion, lie replied : “The overwhelming necessity in this country now is the defense of our seaboard, for to-day we are practically at the mercy of the maritime powers of Europe. I do not deny the necessity for a navy, but I say that our first duty to the people of the United States is to defend the sea coast, and we cannot do it with commerce-destrov ers, with gunboats and steel cruisers of 4.000 tons and 4,500 tons burden. The Senator asks me what to do. Take this money out of the Treasury that to-day js the fruitful source of all sorts of in veutions for extravagance and even for fraud, and build 1 ve first-class iron clads that can face the ua*’ies of the world and that can defend our sea board both on the Atlantic and on the Pacific. ’-Ve are wasting this money day by day in the coustruetioa of naval pleasure-boats and commerce-destroy Cl’S. We have no commerce. Onr cit iqs to-day are in the hands maritime nation that chooses to attaeo them, and vet Senators say that we must build a navy when our seaboard itself is de¬ fenseless ! The remedy is in the ap¬ plication of the vast resources of the people of the United States to the im¬ mediate necessity before them.” Senator Mahone, with his wife and daughter, have gone home to Peters¬ burg, Virginia. He is in very feeble health, though he believes that with a little tune and rest be will recuperate. Prof.Salmon is to be sent to Maine by the Agricultural Department to inves¬ tigate the alleged foot and mouth dis¬ ease among cattle there. This is a propei move and one for the accom¬ plishment of which credit is due to Congressman Reed. Reports from Delaware, Maryland, and neighboring States, state the pros¬ pects are excellent for an abumle ut, crop, lhe buds were not dam¬ aged by the recent unreasonably-cool weather. S. B. ABOUT CAN Si till POOD. Savannah News. Whether canned food is poisonous is a question that is attracting some at¬ tention at present. At a meeting of tiie Medico-Legal Society in New York city last Thursday night, a paper was read by Dr. J. G. Johnson, of BrooK lyn, who stated that in March he at¬ tended a family of six persons who were suffering from poison, and lie believed they had been poisoned by eating to¬ matoes from a can, the lid of which had been soldered on with muriatic amalgam. The doctor;insisted that amal¬ gam of tins kind was extensively used by firms putting up canned goods. The inference from his remarks was that this amalgam was very dangerous. He gave quite a number of rules for detec¬ ting unwbole.-tome canned goods. There were those present at the meet¬ ing who idenied |that muriatic acid was dangerous when taken in such small quantities as could possibly get into the contents of cans from tiie sol¬ dering. If a suspicion g*-ts abroad, that canned goods are un wholesome,the sale of them, which is now enormous, will rapidly fall off. There ought to be such rigid laws with respect to canned roods as to insure their whdesomeness. People are beginning to be afraid to toue jj many articles of food that are necessar j egi Flour, baking powder sueai% Cl> ff se -and syrup, are ado tern ted. Ii is almost impossible to ge genuine butter, and now canned fond is attacked by some of the d rotors, is about as much xs on# person can do to look after the marketingfor aUimily, pvovided there is a detenninatvm o> have only wholesome articles of food. A great many people feel themselves gradually failing. They don’t know just what is the matter but they suffer from a combination of indescribabla aches and pains, which eacli month seem to grow worse.
